The group discussed and agreed to the following suggestions for FY2013:
The denial letter will be revised to state that we prefer activities that will take place in Lunenburg and
have a local sponsor.
Have the accepted and denied letters ready for the December meeting on the system to streamline the
process.
The Lunenburg Ledger is a good communication tool and will be used to solicit new members, events and
inform the public about our mission.
Brent will get a schedule of events together for FY 2013 and notify Council members so we can attend
some of the events.
The group discussed ramping up the activities of this Council. As an example, other towns in the area
have fund raisers to increase the number and amounts of grants.
This Council is in transition as some of the members have taken on other activities. All of the members
offered help as needed.
The group agreed to schedule the yearly meeting on the second Wednesday of December but make
adjustments as needed each year. Next years meeting: December 11, 2013 at 7 PM.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM.
